  • Publication number: 20260049960
    Abstract: A method includes receiving, from a plurality of magnetic field receivers including magnetic sensors, data characterizing samples obtained by the plurality of magnetic field receivers, the samples of a combination of a first magnetic field and a second magnetic field resulting from interaction of the first magnetic field and an object; determining, using the received data, a polarizability index of the object, the polarizability index characterizing a magnetic polarizability property of the object; classifying, using the determined polarizability index, the object as threat or non-threat; and providing the classification. Related apparatus, systems, techniques, and articles are also described.

  • Publication number: 20260049961
    Abstract: A method includes receiving image data of a person passing through an inspection volume and samples including a combination of a first magnetic field and a second magnetic field resulting from interaction of the first magnetic field and an object passing through the inspection volume. The object can be classified as threat or non-threat based on the received second data and a polarizability index characterizing a magnetic polarizability property of the object. The method can further include determining third data characterizing an indication of the object overlaid atop the first data. The method can also include comparing the polarizability index determined for the object and the indication of the object in the third data and determining, based on the comparing, an alarm status associated with the object and/or the person and providing the determined alarm status. Related apparatus, systems, techniques, and articles are also described.

  • Publication number: 20220379145
    Abstract: A reusable, elastomeric respirator and ventilator, with filter inserts, including a mask body having a pliant facial interface on the interior of the mask body, and two apertures centrally positioned on the front face of the mask body. Two interchangeable plugs or ports are provided to be received within and seal the apertures, deliver oxygen into the mask, or deliver liquids to a wearer of the mask. On opposing sides of the mask body are air filter housings which support an air filter, each air filter housing including a base support structure affixed to the mask body and a top securing structure removably secured to the base support structure. One or more straps are affixed to the mask body to secure the mask body about a wearer's head.

  • Patent number: 10208395
    Abstract: The embodiments disclosed herein relate to methods and apparatus for promoting bubble-free circulation of processing fluids in a recirculation system. Certain disclosed techniques involve passive, mechanical valve designs that promote variable resistance to flow in a drain. Other techniques involve automated flow control schemes that utilize feedback from flow meters, level sensors, etc. to achieve a balanced and bubble-free flow. The disclosed embodiments greatly reduce the incorporation of gas into a processing fluid, in particular as the processing fluid returns from a processing cell to a reservoir.

  • Patent number: 10190230
    Abstract: The embodiments herein relate to methods and apparatus for electroplating one or more materials onto a substrate. In many cases the material is a metal and the substrate is a semiconductor wafer, though the embodiments are no so limited. Typically, the embodiments herein utilize a channeled plate positioned near the substrate, creating a cross flow manifold defined on the bottom by the channeled plate, on the top by the substrate, and on the sides by a cross flow confinement ring. During plating, fluid enters the cross flow manifold both upward through the channels in the channeled plate, and laterally through a cross flow side inlet positioned on one side of the cross flow confinement ring. The flow paths combine in the cross flow manifold and exit at the cross flow exit, which is positioned opposite the cross flow inlet. These combined flow paths result in improved plating uniformity.
